Nominees for Dealer Service Manager of the Year category were judged on demonstrated ability to capture and retain key accounts, customer satisfaction, service assurance assessment scoring, technician training compliance and shop efficiency and training.
Shane Keizer, the president of Keizer companies, said, “Wayne is an exceptional team leader, and his endless drive to teach and encourage others has resulted in us having a second-to-none service technician team our customers can truly rely on. As it happens, Wayne is retiring from his service manager position this fall after 17 years with our company. He will remain working for us in a part-time capacity, helping with training our technicians. This award could not arrive at a better moment to recognize his vast contribution to our business and the Carrier Transicold network. I am tremendously proud of Wayne and his team.”
Merrill joined Keizer Refrigeration in 2002 as a unit sales and service representative, and soon he was promoted to his current service manager role. He and his wife Rita have four children, and they reside in Sioux City.
